ESPN: Bill Simmons Will No Longer Be on Our Platforms

Sports Illustrated: There will be no farewell columns, podcasts or television appearances for Bill Simmons on ESPN. Both sides have worked out an agreement that officially ends his tenure as a front-facing employee for ESPN. Simmons sent an email to Grantland staffers informing them that he would no longer be working for the site he founded in 2011. Simmons will also no longer do podcasts or appear on television for ESPN.
